What’s more, teachers may not be available to the students all the time, and in fact, may have even less time at the end of the semester. dissertations sample can be a blessing for students because most students are not familiar with the writing and formatting skills of thesis research and writing. dissertation sample can be used… Continue

S Silfies Ladies we don't have to hear our husbands snoring anymore!

My girlfriend turned me on to something that changed my life completely about 2 months ago and I have been using it ever since. My husband really wasn't and isn't concerned about doing something to prevent snoring, mostly because he thinks i make to much of it. Even though i have suggested a lot of things and tell him about all the health /snoring articles and snoring reviews I read. She said her husband was pretty much the same way too. My opinion is that most snoring spouses probably don't hav… Continue

Doug Ballnik Prevent Drowsy Driving and Falling Asleep at the Wheel

We have all driven when we are fatigued. 1500 annual deaths and 100,000 accidents are attributed to drowsy driving. When was the last time you caught yourself nodding off at the wheel while driving? We have recently finished laboratory testing of a device (now commercially available) that prevents microsleep/falling asleep and makes drivers 25% to 40% more alert. (Tests results printed in the National Defense Industry Association GVSETS 2009 Symposium.) Drowsy drivers can't fall asleep when usi… Continue

Timothy Ackerman Eplivanserin

Hi everyone: I saw that eplivanserin received a complete response letter not long ago. I have seen a few posters at APA and APSS through the years. Given the drug's effect on sleep maintenance, potential for non-controlled status, and potential impact on SWS what are your thoughts on the 5HT compounds such as eplivanserin and the FDA's response? Any comments are welcomed. Continue

Ray Baker Can the Quality of Your Mattress Improve Your Sleep

I guess like a lot of people on this site, I am not a good sleeper - since my teenage years I have 'got by' on a few hours sleep each night. As I'm sure most of you realize, this is not an ideal situation and it affected my quality of life in many ways. This way of life continued for many years until I was well into my thirties by which time I could afford to buy myself a seriously expensive mattress. I went for a Kingsdown mattress which was recommended to me by a co-worker who had suffered fr… Continue

Margy Rydzynski Is it Time For Bed Yet?

I've been up since 4:30 this morning and it's 9:00 pm now. I thought I'd get an early start on bedtime - since I've been exhausted all day - but sleep did not come. I gave a presentation very early this morning, and I've been very preoccupied about doing it well. So, there was some stress beforehand. But I'm now finished and should be tired enough to hit the sack early. But, I'm not. Sigh... Continue

ANTHONY L WILLIAMS 29 YEARS OF CHRONIC INSOMNIA CURED

When I first got hit with insomnia I would get maybe 30 minutes of shallow sleep every night. I'll keep this short. I went the pill route. The pill that helped me most was amitriptylene. I began with 125 mg; managed to get it down to 25mg; then back up; then back down; then... I'm sure you've been there also. When our new grandson was born he would cry ALL DAY EVERY DAY. He would take naps, and sleep at night. But when he was awake he cried. This went on for 3 months and several doctors. A lady… Continue

Laura Builds Unemployed and Not Sleeping

Ok, like many Americans, I am recently unemployed. Since being let go, I think I average about 4 hours a night of sleep, and it is restless at best. I worry about things like Medical insurance and Dental insurance for my family, mortgage and car payments, college tuition in two short years, my retirement fund, etc. How do you clear your mind at night and relax enough to sleep? I can't. Continue

Mary Mo Chronic Insomnia

I have had some problems in the past but now my insomnia seems to be getting worse. I don't want to depend on drugs. I have trouble falling asleep. I did not sleep 3 nights out of the last 2 weeks. The only thing I'm aware of while I sleep is talking and snoring. My husband says neither is loud or disturbs him. I'm somewhat overweight (5"4" 190lb) and I'm working on that as well as trying to walk more. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You Continue

Laura Builds I Blame My Computer

My computer is EVIL! It has caused me health problems, weight gain, and sleep deprivation. The damn thing has already cost me one angioplasty (heart surgery) and I'm pretty sure I will need weight loss surgery of some kind soon too. I'm hooked on it like a rock star gets hooked on cocaine. Maybe I could sue Microsoft or Dell and charge that they are in a conspiracy with… Continue
